Canada "Battle of Blades" ends with shattered trophy

TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) - No sooner did former Olympic skating champion Ekaterina Gordeeva win Canada's "Battle of the Blades" competition series Monday night than a national TV audience watched her trophy topple to the ice during the closing credits.

"In Russia, we break plates and take a piece. She did it with the trophy," Gordeeva's skating partner, Valerie Bure, told reporters backstage after both were crowned second-season winners of the reality TV series.

The show features former National Hockey League tough guys mastering graceful ice dance routines with Olympic figure skating stars.
